Week 6

Week 6 - my last week of running 3 days/week.  I'll be doing 4 days/week from here on.

I started the week with a 5 mile run on Tuesday.  I hurried home from work, changed clothes, and headed out pretty quickly, because I wanted to beat a storm that was moving in from the southwest.  I did beat the rain by about 15 minutes, but the lightening definitely picked up during my last mile.

I ran 4 miles after work on Thursday.  I could really tell this day that it's starting to stay a little bit lighter longer in the evenings.  I've been so used to running my last couple miles in the dark, but it stayed fairly light through my entire run.

My long run was 6 miles on Saturday.  It was in the 30s but sunny.  I wound my way through the neighborhoods north and west of my house.  At about mile 4, I made my way back by my house to grab a quick drink from a water bottle that I had put out on the porch before my run.  The last couple miles seemed pretty easy.
